EXFO LFD-300B FiberFinder Live Fiber Detector

 EXFO LFD-300B FiberFinder Live Fiber Detector

A Uniquely Designed Live Fiber Identifier

For major singlemode fibers, insertion loss is a function of the bending angle. Although the angles differ, the behavior remains the same.

The LFD-300B FiberFinder brings a unique approach: the power loss is monitored as the angle is changed. Therefore, the angle is automatically optimized for each fiber type and each singlemode wavelength. This results in clear-cut advantages:

• Maximum loss of 1 dB guaranteed for most singlemode telecom fibers (most jacket types) and any wavelength
• No damage to the fiber: bending is always minimal, and the fiber is released when no power is detected
• Traffic detection and direction identification
• In-line, non-disruptive power estimation
• Safe to be used in long-haul applications and on high-payload fibers contrary to traditional live fiber detectors
• Optimized for 900 µm, 1.6 mm and 3 mm jackets; no need to replace the headpiece

Ambient Light Offset

EXFO’s LFD-300B performs an ambient light offset prior to fiber bending, which makes it less sensitive to ambient light. A push-down cap can also be placed on the head-end to block intense ambient light.

Features:

• Induces minimal loss: ≤ 1 dB 
• Locates a particular dark fiber using tone recognition (270 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz)
• Three times faster test cycle (<6 s)
